DOMAINE HOUCHART ROSE 2009 – COTES DE PROVENCE, FRANCE

It’s summer and that means it’s time to break out the roses – like this one from the locals of Aix-en-Provence.  With newly renovated wine making facilities, the 5th generation Houchart family estate has made a dandy.  Sourced from 5 different grape varieties(Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Mourvedre), it’s salmon pink in color and loaded with dark red fruits. Lively, fresh and DRY, this one has good structure, concentration and intensity enough to satisfy you red wine drinkers out there. Serve between 50-55 degrees with any grilled meats, ham, salmon, pizza or Asian dishes.      Look for the gorgeous wallpaper type label.

Price: Reg. $15.99 / Sale  $13.99
